WEBVTT - A Monument to Left-Wing Idiocy 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.720 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Democrats great Green 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:22.200 Leap Forward is laid out today and wow, is it 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:26.159 a dumpster fire of toxic waste COO two fumes and 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:30.160 all kinds of pollutants. It is a mess. We'll talk 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.200 about why the left seems to think that social justice, socialism, 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.360 and the environment have to go together. Also updates on 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.440 the mess in Virginia with the Democrat Party, and so 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.800 much more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.080 is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:53.159 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:57.000 no mistake American, You're a great American. Again. The buck 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:08.440 Sexton Show begins. Analyston No. One reason that people who 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.760 are politically conservative are skeptical of efforts to combat climate 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.959 change is that it sounds to them like it requires 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.200 massive government intervention, which they just don't like. Are you 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.160 prepared to put on the table that, yes, actually they're 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.160 right what this requires as massive government intervention? Does it does? Yeah? 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.959 I have no problem saying that. Why because we have 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.560 tried their approach for forty years. For forty years, we 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.480 tried to let the private sector take care of it. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.240 They said, we got this. We can do this. The 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.000 forces of the market are going to force us to innovate. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.880 Government is not just for cleaning up other people's mess, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.600 but it's also for building solutions in places where the 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:52.600 private sector will not Welcome to the buck Sexton show man, 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.040 I love it when we actually get Democrats talking policy. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.440 This is going to be fun, folks. Strap in, you're 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:06.480 in for a while ride. Alexandria Occasio Cortez unveiled her 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.400 Green New Deal proposal today in a resolution and out 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:25.320 the Congress, and it is one of the most bizarre, overreaching, deluded, insane, stupid, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:31.160 just wild documents I have ever read in my life. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:36.040 It is as though somebody went through the comments section 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.320 of the Daily Coast, the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, and CNN 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.280 and came up with some sort of a patchwork pieced 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:53.000 together Frankenstein left wing overhaul of everything everything I'm talking 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.639 all the way down to air travel and car a car. Gosh, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.799 cow farts. I can't even get I can't even get 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:05.320 the words out. It's so wild. You gotta read this thing. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.519 I mean, it's a little it's it's fourteen pages long. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.000 It won't take it won't take you much time you 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.000 read this. This Green New Deal, which you've been hearing 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.200 about for a while, is full of some of the dumbest, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.840 the dumbest stuff I've ever read that's supposedly going to 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:28.120 be policy. I mean, there is something for everybody to 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.680 make fun of it. Here they want, Here we go. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.200 I'll give you some of this from the text of 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:40.360 it itself. To promote justice. Remember this is supposed to 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.680 be about the environment. To promote justice and equity by 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:51.760 stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous communities, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:58.960 communities of color, migrant communities, de industrialized communities, depopulated rural communities, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.920 the poor, low and co workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:11.320 people with disabilities, and youth and youth, and it just 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:18.280 goes on and on and on. Repairing an upgraded infrastructure 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.719 in the United States by eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:27.599 guaranteeing universal access to clean water, reducing the risks posed 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:32.440 by flooding and other climate change impacts, Ensuring any infrastructure 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.520 bill considered by Congress addresses climate change, which just means 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.520 that there'll never be an infrastructure bill that's going to 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.839 get through anything meeting one hundred percent of the power 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.719 demand in the United States through clean, renewable and zero 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:53.400 emission energy sources. I there's so much here. It's a 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:59.880 magnificent monument to left wing idiocy. This is the Eiffel 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:06.480 Power of stupid progressive This is the Mount Rushmore of 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:13.679 liberal lunacy. Wow. I had some fun reading through this today. 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.480 None of it makes any sense. There's stuff in there 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.560 about and by the way we have it deserves to 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.360 be ridiculed. But then it also deserves to be taken 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.160 seriously because about twenty percent of the country is on 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.479 board for this stuff, maybe more like twenty five or 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.760 thirty percent, which is appalling, but that's reality. The liberal 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.680 left buys into all of this, even if they know 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.480 the science doesn't make sense, even if they know that economically, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.800 this would be our version of Mao's Great Leap Forward, 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:48.279 which was central planning taken to the max, seemed like 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.159 a good idea to the people in charge, led to 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.880 mass starvation, perhaps as many as sixty million dead, and 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.400 that was in the twenty middle of the twentieth century. 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.000 This would destroy our economy, I mean just destroyed. And 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.400 I don't mean that in oh, it would it would 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.919 reduce GDP by a point or two, which would be 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.560 really bad. But oh no, no, no, no, if we 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.240 did this stuff that they're saying we should do in here, 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:20.400 we would be a much poorer country, with much less 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:29.960 with much less wealth to go around for anyone. I 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.840 was somewhat flabbergasted reading through this thing today. I was 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.280 trying to find a way to not kind of laugh 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:47.039 but also have a little bit of unease at this 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.599 is the this is the leading light of the Democrat 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.240 Party right now putting this forward. It addresses the need 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.000 to eliminate cow farts. It says that we should have 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:03.520 high speed rail to replace airplane travel. Oh so, as 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:08.200 Mazie Harrono, arguably the dumbest woman in Congress. But I 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:13.480 don't know. I think there's some competition. Mazie Harono from 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.400 Hawaii says, what about Hawaii. It's gonna have to be 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.480 quite an infrastructure project to get high speed rail to 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.720 Hawaii from the mainland. Now, you could say, buck well, 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.520 they don't think they're really going to eliminate this, or 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.080 they're not going to get to one hundred percent. These 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.800 are targets, These are goals. Well, then why are you 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:36.560 releasing this as a policy statement. No one is forcing 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:43.040 the social justice green left to tie all this stuff 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:48.600 together and to just make this proclamation that is untethered 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:59.760 from reality. Untethered from reality. I mean, it's quite a read. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.640 It is quite a read. Indeed, Um, I want here 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.360 here's some some more of what she had to say 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.360 about this. That of course it's massive government intervention. This 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.520 is why the left loves this. The environment all of 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.360 a sudden turns into an excuse for them to control 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.480 everything about your life, all of your economic decisions, everything 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.680 that's going on with you. And if you're opposed to 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.640 what you're a bad person who wants kids to drink 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.520 toxic waste sludge and people to die from, you know, 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.439 inhaling chemicals. You see, one of the one of the 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.120 tricks that they pull with this is by pretending they 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:42.880 create a massive straw man in this argument. Nobody, nobody 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.040 wants to live in a country or live in a 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.080 world where you can't breathe the air, you can't drink 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.080 any water, there's no good you know, there's no food 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.360 to eat, or I mean, this is just this is 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.520 some fake argument that they offer up that everybody that 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.959 thinks that their ideas are crazy, and they are crazy, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.160 and this is this is I disagree with them. This 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:06.559 is their nuts. This is the green left wing Democrats 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:14.560 are bonkers. But they act like you and I for 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.600 our mere skepticism over this. Don't walk clean water, don't 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.559 want clean air. I'm all about. I think conservation is great. 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.560 I think being good stewards of the environment is important. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.000 I think that anti pollution efforts are important. I don't 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:34.400 think that CO two is a pollutant, however, and I 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.600 don't think that dramatically changing the lifeblood of our economy, 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.520 which is fossil fuel energy, that is just a fact, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.440 in order to try and mitigate the effects of point 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:54.600 one percent of the atmospheres increase or decrease. I don't 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.600 think that that is what any sane person should do. 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.160 And I know that this will have massive cost, and 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:05.480 this will have tremendous negative long term effect on growth 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:10.640 but also on human freedom. This is what Ocazio Cortez 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.200 doesn't get because she's she's an ignoramus. I mean she is, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.719 and I don't try to be mean, you know, I 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.160 think that we'll talk later. I mean Elizabeth Warren is 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.760 a fraud, but she's not an imbecile. I think actually 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:24.280 Ocasio Cortez is borderline borderline imbecile. I mean, not a 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:30.400 smart person, a brilliant show person, a brilliant you know, 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:36.720 political theater actor, but not somebody who's really thought through 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.720 any of this stuff. Just doesn't know anything, just doesn't 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:47.280 know anything. And the Democrats listen to her like she's 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:52.760 the Queen Bee. She's the single most beloved Democrat by 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.000 the media in the United States right now. She's been 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.880 in Congress for all of a month, and she comes 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.200 out with this plan that any adult who's trying to 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:05.000 be reasonable and sane would would say is crazy. I mean, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.520 this is a crazy But why would you do this? 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.880 Why I put out such a crazy plan? And why 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.679 is it about removing oppression from indigenous people's What does 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:18.000 that have to do with climate change? There's so much here, 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.920 I mean you, there's so much wrong that it really 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.320 is hard to know where to start. But at a 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.959 at a strategic level, at a thirty thousand foot view, 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.360 you look down this you realize, oh, this is just 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.280 this is just the pathway to socialism, and instead of 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.679 the reds they're the Greens. I mean, this is just 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:45.400 using the environment as a means of mobilizing people to 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.719 the same ends that are not just socialists, but that 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.520 communists did. This is really more, This is really more 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:56.480 borderline commy attitude about the economy, because this is full 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:02.160 state control. This is revolutionary central committee planning. This is 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:07.000 scary stuff. And they tell us that we should be 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:12.560 worried about Trump's tax returns. We have so much to 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.120 work with here. And I would just note that, you know, 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:20.520 Democrats are largely lining up behind this. They are saying 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.360 that this is there's some good ideas in this, and 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.400 they're going to be very prickly about conservatives like me 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.480 saying that this is this is an indication of the 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:38.240 lack of intellectual seriousness that left wing policy has devolved into, 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:44.360 but also the incredibly grandiose status ambitions of a left 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.320 to just control everything in your life, to just be 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:51.480 in charge of everything, to use the environment as the 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.559 catch all and the cure all, to take care, to 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.319 take care of everything by taking all power into their hands. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.840 So it's hilarious terrifying at the same time. And we 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.600 will spend more of our time this hour on some 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.440 of the details here, and what's some other Democrats and 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:14.439 other prominent voices are saying about this eight four four 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.000 five eight four four nine hundred buck. If you want 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.920 to chat about the Green New Deal, take a couple 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.360 of calls this hour and we have more on this 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:28.079 and we'll be right back. So you're saying, borrow the money, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.240 make the investment, the economy will grow, we'll pay off 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.440 the debt. Absolutely because we're creating jobs. Although I do 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.360 have to say you mentioned the Republican tax cut. They 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.320 said the same thing about the tax cut. Let's do 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.160 this tax cut. The economy will grow, it's going to 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.240 be great, it's going to pay for itself. Hasn't turned 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.680 out to be true at all. Absolutely, And I think 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.080 that that is an important distinction to make because when 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.560 they were advancing that cause, they had no evidence to 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.480 say that these things were going to happen. But we 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:02.160 actually do have the evidence. Forever one dollar invested in infrastructure, 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.760 we get six dollars back. That's one of the dumbest 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:12.080 things I've ever heard. Where does she even get we 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.600 get six dollars back for every dollary? Is she not 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.960 familiar with some of the public works projects across this 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.120 country that have cost billions of dollars still aren't even finished. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.600 And does she not know what it was like to 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.720 try to even get the Second Avenue subway built in 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.880 New York City, the big dig in Boston. You look 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:35.880 at this stuff, and any normal rational person comes away saying, yeah, 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.960 there's a lot of boondoggles and a lot of wasted money, 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.280 and every one dollar we spend on infrastructure, well, then 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.640 we could just become rich by spending, you know, trillions 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.320 and trillions of dollars on infrastructure projects. But this is 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.160 kind of the Obama school of economics. We'll just we'll 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.400 make people, We'll make the country rich by paying people 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.560 to do jobs that we don't really need anyone to do, 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.200 but the government will do it. We'll take money from 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.520 the taxpayer. So there you go. It doesn't really work 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.720 that way. Kim Strassol on this whole Green New Deal 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.240 thing has a pretty great thread that I wanted to 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:07.880 share with you before we get in some more of 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.280 this and then also the immigration debate coming up. Here's 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.640 what our friend Kim Strasso writes from the Wall Street Journal. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.440 By the end of the Green New Deal resolution and 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.160 accompanying fact sheet. I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.120 If a bunch of goopiers plotted to forge a fake 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:29.080 Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.720 not have done a better job. It is beautiful. Take 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.600 a look at Ron Bailey to see the sheer numbers 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.320 of turbines, solar panels, and facilities necessary just for the 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:46.840 renewable electricity bit. You need five hundred kilometers five hundred thousand, 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:53.080 sorry square kilometers, bigger than California. Also note that government 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.400 will pay for these, not the private sector. Also, AOC 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.840 would put charging stations everywhere, Upgrade or tear down every 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.880 building in the country, homes and businesses, install high speed 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.800 rail across every state, Upgrade all of our infrastructure. Yeah, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.440 that's right. She actually wants to replace every building in 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:19.960 the country with a more green friendly structure. Think about that, everyone, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.800 tear down every building in the country and replace it 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:29.760 with an environmentally friendly structure. This is nuts. Somehow, government 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:33.800 run healthcare, family, sustainable wages, paid leave, and affordable housing 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.400 are also required for a clean economy. I would love 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.760 to understand this logic and imagine what wages will need 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:45.360 to need to be paid for billion dollars per kilowatt electricity. 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.560 Key part, though, is in fact the sheet that explains 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.560 why the resolution is not immediately banning fossil fuels or 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:57.680 demanding zero emissions across the economy because quote, we aren't 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.560 sure that we'll be able to fully get rid of 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:04.240 farting cows and airplanes that fast. That's right, they use 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.920 the word fully, and farting planes run on fossil fuels, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.200 No fossil fuel, no visits to granny cows produce methane. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.320 Why alarmists want to get rid of livestock? She can't 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.160 do it fully in ten years. But AOC is coming 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:23.200 after your air miles and your bacon. This is honesty 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.920 about how democrats would micromanage your private life and how 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.320 to pay for mass trillions in costs. Don't worry, Frederal 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.800 Reserve will just extend credit, and new public banks can 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.720 be created to extend credit too, because you know, like 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.600 money is just paper, and how hard can it be 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.560 to make some more of the stuff? Right, Okay, back 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:50.360 to laughing Kim Strassel there, Wall Street Journal. I mean, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:56.520 you know, Kim gets it right. It's it's amazing, it's 0:17:56.560 --> 0:18:00.000 amazing when you read this thing and it's it's funny. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.639 It's kind of like what the media had to do 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:05.080 after the Elizabeth Warren DNA debacle. I am one one 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:09.200 thousand and twenty fourth native American, so yeah, I'm native American, 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.159 Elizabeth Warren says, and the media was like, WHOA, she 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:20.119 has provided DNA results, so let's take her word for it. No, 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.880 and they're trying to make this proposal from AOC sounds serious. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.919 The problem with that is it is impossible. It is 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:35.040 impossible to do more on this in just a moment. Guys, today, 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.560 mark's a seven day countdown until Valentine's Now. I know 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.320 a lot of you have already ordered your special sum 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.800 on a gorgeous bouquet from my friends at one eight 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.199 hundred flowers dot com. But for the rest of you 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.840 out there putting it off, take care of it today, 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.320 because right now, when you order early, you'll get eighteen 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.600 red roses for twenty nine ninety nine, or upgrade to 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.919 twenty four red roses for only ten dollars more. That's right, 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:57.600 eighteen red roses for twenty nine ninety nine or upgraded 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.640 twenty four Red roses four ten dollars more. I've used 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.000 one hundred flowers before for thank yous for sending things 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.479 to Miss Molly for her birthday. They are the best. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.040 The flowers are absolutely gorgeous and it's so easy. Just 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.840 call them. You'll see they're picked at their peak of 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.640 freshness and they're shipped overnight. It's going to be beautiful. 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.600 This is the way to do it. Get it done today. Okay. 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.200 To order eighteen red roses for twenty nine nine or 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.160 upgrade to twenty four red roses for only ten dollars more, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.080 go to one eight hundred flowers dot com slash buck. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:32.639 That's one eight hundred flowers dot com slash buck. Hurry 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:37.240 offer expires Friday. The five warmest years have been the 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.120 last five years. And this is not from some conspiracy 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.199 group or anything like this. This is from NASA and Noah. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.960 You know, these are government organizations cast with keeping track 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.280 of this. I think if we all disappeared like this, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.480 the Earth would go back and just be fine, you know, 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.560 whatever cyclits on, whatever, if it's warm, if it's cold, 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.320 I think it just goes back to doing its thing. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.360 But we all live here. Yeah, human beings are the problem, 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:08.480 you see, They always revert back to this at the route. 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:13.240 There's a kind of hatred of humanity that is animating 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:18.080 a lot of this climate change alarmism. We are the problem. 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:22.120 The presence of human beings on this planet despoils it. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.320 You know, we're we're the issue here and we need 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.840 to change radically because of all the bad stuff that 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.040 we do. I take a different view, which is that 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.160 the planet exists for us, that we are the only 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.439 sentient beings on the planet, and the planet is here 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.840 to support us, and we should use it for our advantage. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.240 Now that doesn't mean that the river should be, you know, 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.919 flowing with toxic waste, but it does mean that we 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.720 should use the planet. It's here, It is here for us. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:59.000 But the Left is just just wacko on this stuff. 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:03.680 They really are. You know, this idea that the five 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.000 warmest years on record of the last five years and 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.119 this is all over. I think a one point four 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.080 degree warming last year as compared to the year before. Yeah, 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:14.960 one point four degrees higher than the average in the 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.200 twentieth century. They are they are raising the alarm about 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:20.320 the end of humanity and the extinction of the human 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:24.199 race because of a one point four degree change in 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:27.320 average temperature compared to the last one hundred years. The 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.119 Earth is a few billion years old, you know, however 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.440 many billions it is. We only have temperature readings for 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.440 the last hundred years. This would be like looking at 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.800 a beach and looking at one grain of sand and saying, well, 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:44.720 what I can tell you about every other grain of 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.439 sand is that this one is this size, and so 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.960 all the other ones have to be the same size. No, 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.640 that's not true. You're looking at a very very very 0:21:54.680 --> 0:22:01.159 small data sample and drawing in nor misconclusions from it. 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.600 I mean, just making vast oversimplifications of what you can 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:08.640 learn from the data. But I would note that AOC 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:14.600 is not the only one who finds this climate alarmism 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:17.760 approach to be the way she wants to go. Pelosi 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:22.920 also gets it on this blake Leby yesterday, As I mentioned, 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.439 I pointed the Select Committee on Climate. I said, this 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:31.200 Select Committee will have a leading role in taking testimony 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:37.560 building current information on solutions to the climate crisis. There's 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.679 all kinds of ideas coming for we welcome all of 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:44.879 them as they highlight the importance of this existential threat 0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:48.959 to the planet. It's a national security issue when it 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:53.760 comes to preventing climate driven instability, it's an economic and jobs, jobs, 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:58.960 jobs issue of making good paying jobs, making America, keeping 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.600 America pre eminent and green technologies in the world. And 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:05.800 it is that in my view of moral responsibility, if 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.400 you believe as to why that this planet is God's creation, 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.359 and we have a moral responsibility because stewards of it 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:20.720 just blather piled on top of claptrap, laid a top 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:29.479 more blather. Wow, Pelosi, existential threat to the planet. I 0:23:29.560 --> 0:23:32.520 don't know how anybody really believes this, although I do 0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.760 think that you have a kind of unholy alliance here 0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:42.240 between the very cynical, power hungry left that realizes that 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:49.240 once you buy into this constructs of climate as possibly 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:53.320 going to end humanity, that this is an existential issue, 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.959 that all human life is going to end unless you 0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.280 put them in power, they're willing to just go along 0:23:58.320 --> 0:24:03.359 with it. But you also do have a sizeable contingent 0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.400 of the Democrat usually democrat atheists left as well. They 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.480 really bind us. Although I have seen more and more 0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.840 of these left wing Christian types who are coming forward 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.200 saying that climate change is a climate change is a 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.080 Christian issue, you know that, like like Jesus wants you 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.000 to take a bicycle to work and not drive a car. 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:25.800 I mean, I do hear the social justice Christian left 0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:29.359 say this stuff, and I get very frustrated the Pope. 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.880 The Pope has said stuff about climate change, which what 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:35.920 the heck is he doing? He's got bigger problems. I 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:38.879 think he saw some of the news today, you know 0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.680 about more sex abuse and more terrible stuff going on 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:44.160 in the Catholic Church. But that's a conversation for another time. 0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.600 Pelosi says this is an existential threat. I don't think 0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:52.040 she believes that at all, not one bit. But it 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.800 plays well to her looney left wing base, and it 0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:59.800 also opens the door to allow Democrats to try to 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.240 gained the moral high ground after a month where they've 0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:06.680 been pushing socialism, which always remember, is based on the 0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:10.480 state seizing your property under threat of force and giving 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:15.000 it to other people and infanticide, which as much as 0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:16.919 people can try to tell me that that is not 0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.400 what they were supporting, that's not what Northham was supporting, 0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.880 That's not what Tran in Virginia was supporting. No, it 0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.800 was what they were We can we can listen, We 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.760 can read, we can hear, we know that is what 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:34.160 they were supporting. And it just shows you the deep 0:25:34.960 --> 0:25:39.639 moral abyss that the Democrat Democrat Party has not just 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:43.159 fallen into, but has embraced. Now there's a kind of 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:48.800 pride in their in humanity and in the sinfulness of 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:51.840 many of their policies and much of their decision making 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:55.800 that should be unsettling to to anybody paying attention. But 0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:58.159 I said we would take some calls. So Chris in 0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:05.359 a Virginia all came my friend, Yes, yes, you're on 0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:11.679 the radio. Okay. I was just gonna say, you're referring 0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:17.720 to everything as fossil fuels. UM, I think not necessarily 0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:19.840 to take the wind out of their sales or says, 0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:23.760 I prefer to call them hydrocarbons. UM. I work in 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:27.119 the aviation industry and we're actually moving away from standard 0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:30.960 aircraft fuel to swift fuel, which is in the future. 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.840 It's not here yet, but it's renewable, it's made from 0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:41.960 bio waste, etc. Um. Plus, you know the hydrates in 0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.600 the in the CO two that come up and blend 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:50.320
